About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At night, when the last patient had left and the lights were dimmed, a strange voice began echoing over Springfield Family Dental’s empty lobby. ‘Your teeth are calling out for help,’ it whispered. No one could identify its source. One evening, an elderly neighbor walked in, complaining of tooth pain. The voice offered advice: 'Brush twice daily!' It turned out to be just the dental hygienist's tape recorder playing on loop.
2. In the early morning hours, before anyone else arrived, an old man would quietly sit in one of Springfield Family Dental’s empty waiting rooms. No one knew why he came or what he did there. One day, a sleepy delivery driver walked in and asked if everything was okay. The old man just smiled and said, 'Just waiting for my appointment.' Turned out, he’d been coming every night for years—just to be the first patient. Everyone laughed when they found out his real dentist lived two blocks away.
3. At dawn, when most people were still dreaming, a mysterious van would pull up outside Springfield Family Dental. Its doors would open silently, revealing a lone figure in a white lab coat who quickly disappeared into the building. Inside, everyone was fast asleep, but soon a gentle beeping sound from the reception desk woke up an old toothbrush that had been resting there. It rolled down the counter and nudged awake a nearby clock radio, which started playing soft jazz. The lone figure in a white lab coat, hearing the music, smiled faintly and whispered, 'Finally, some decent background noise.'
4. At closing time, when the receptionist locked the front door, a faint voice from the hallway would whisper, ‘Don’t forget to turn off the water!’ One night, a delivery driver heard the whisper and thought it was his imagination. Next morning, he found himself explaining to an astonished receptionist why there was no ice in her coffee.
